Soft Box Detachable Housing and Lamp Holder Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional soft boxes are not easily disassembled or adaptable, limiting their usage and compatibility with different lamp holders and environments, and require adjustments to fit the snap-fitting member during usage.
Innovation Solution
A soft box design featuring a detachable connection between the housing and lamp holder using a connecting device with a first and second locking portion, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, rotation of the housing, and a flash lamp cap fixing device for secure light transmission, enhancing compatibility and versatility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the housing frame is tightly fixed together with the lamp holder, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting device is divided into separate components: a connecting piece with a locking portion and a corresponding locking structure. This segmentation allows the housing frame and lamp holder to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining structural stability when connected, resolving the contradiction between fixed stability and ease of assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting device incorporates a movable locking mechanism that can transition between locked and unlocked states. The locking portion can be engaged or disengaged from the locking structure, providing dynamic adaptability that enables both stable connection during use and easy assembly/disassembly when needed.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the soft box is designed as a whole unit, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability to different lamp holders deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp holder body is designed as a universal component that can accommodate different types of lamp holders through the standardized connecting device interface. The connecting piece with locking mechanism provides a universal connection method that maintains structural stability while enabling compatibility with various lamp holder types, thus achieving both stability and adaptability.
3Reliability
If the housing and lamp holder are permanently connected, then the reliability is improved, but the ease of repair and modification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into separable components (connecting piece and locking structure) that can be easily assembled and disassembled. This segmentation maintains reliable connection during operation while enabling easy repair and modification by allowing users to detach and replace components without permanent attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism provides a dynamic connection that can be engaged for reliable operation and disengaged for repair. The ability to transition between connected and separated states ensures both connection reliability during use and ease of repair when needed, resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.

AI summary
A soft box includes a housing and a main body detachably connected to the housing by a connecting device. The connecting device includes a first locking portion and a second locking portion. An installing base is connected to the bottom of the housing and the main body is embedded in the installing base, thereby the housing can rotate around the main body. The first locking portion passes through the installing base and the main body to tightly fix with the second locking portion. The housing includes a snap-fitting member and a light passageway which is a cylindrical hole and a flash lamp cap fixing device formed therein. The flash lamp cap fixing device includes a supporting platform and a pressing plate opposite to the supporting platform and having an adjustable position relative to the supporting platform. The present disclosure can quickly disassembly and be easy to carry.
